Freezer breaking up into pieces

Mum has a beko fridge freezer and she noticed all this plastic and bits breaking up. I don't know exactly where it is on the pics as she just sent me these. She is having a problem getting hold of beko. She was passed between 5 customer service people yesterday and she doesn't know anything. She is worried it's dangerous. Has anyone seen anything like this before

I strongly suspect that is not the freezer "breaking up" but that it is a rodent gnawing it's way through from the outside.paul2louise said:Mum has a beko fridge freezer and she noticed all this plastic and bits breaking up.

Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

A freezer in an outbuilding? I'd suspect a Siberian Hamster.

That looks exactly the same as the Beko we had in the garage. Initially mice but then a rat managed to enlarge it3

Thank you all for replies. Yes I think the rodent reason is extremely likely now I think about it. She is close to takeaway shops and has said there are a lot of rats in back access areas which is close to her garage. I will pass on your comments.0

Many fridges & freezers are not suitable for using in a garage where the ambient temperature falls below zero. When shopping for a new one, make sure you buy the correct model.
Beko make specific units to use in garages - https://www.beko.co.uk/lifestyle/freezer-guard
Also be very careful handling anything that the rats have been near.
